has anybody successfully had their sills repaired? i think only one of mine has gone, but i noticed it this morning while i was trying to remove the plastic cover i noticed one of the clips just pulled out, i stopped removing the cover there! and proded with a screwdriver and noticed it was just crumbling away from the rear jacking point towards the rear arch on the drivers side. apart from complete panels from LR are there any repair panels for these? my other route is either my local welder or LR indie and get them to fabricate it.

I think the same question was asked recently, however a blank seems to be have been drawn on any L322 repair panels, for the moment.

These folks do arch repair panels, it might be worth a phone call to them?

A classic restoration outfit would be another avenue of investigation, they have the talent to make panels.
Cavity wax injection is a must after repairs.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bilt-Ham...305789&hash=item25e57c55ca:g:ujwAAOxyEoFSVRw7

yes all this started because i was going to inject the sill cavity and get some rust protection on the outside, unfortunately i was a bit late, my passenger side dosent seem to have gone but i'm getting the guy to check it while he's at it and get some cavity protection in there. the guy i'm using is highly reccomended by my local LR Indie, and has done l322's before for them so should be a good tidy job.

No that was the P38 you were thinking about.

They were galvanised, why oh why didn't they carry on doing that? Built in redundancy ?
YRM might consider it. Try contacting them.
Yes the guy doing them is highly recommended by my lr indie, he says a day maybe 2 to do the job, so it’s going in towards end of next month as he’s very busy but he’s repaired sills on many l322’s so knows what he’s up against. Not had a quote it’ll be what it’ll be. But I know it will be a good job.

Hi Kev
Do you weld yourself? Fancy a go? I use cereal packets(empty) and for a patern. Based on where you need to cut back to.
It’s a brill skill to learn . First you become an expert grinder but you soon find you are delivering a very respectable standard.

Good man, eezy peezy Job really once you get a stomach for peeling back the crud.
Just remember to lift the carpets and any wiring nearby.
If the plastic trim doesn't quite fit afterwards just panel beat inwards until it does.
I read a thread where somebody is charging £1000 per side.........of course he wears a mask, as you should when welding and robbing simultaneously !

Don't be silly, it's a LR product. Overrated, overpriced & poorly protected … how else are they going to sell shiny new ones to loyal customers

A client of mine has this l322, something to bear in mind!!
This is behind the plastic front wheel arches!!
